Dip dyed ombré denim has been popping up here and there and not only do we love the look, it’s super easy to do yourself! We’ve combined Tory Burch ‘s dip dyed jeans and Miss Unkon ‘s ombré 501s as inspiration for a pink infused DIY that could be done in a jiffy. Start by rinsing your shorts with water. A bottle of RIT liquid dye amounts to 1 cup; you’ll dye your shorts with the lightest shade first and darkest shade last. Pour 1/3 of the cup of dye into 2 gallons of hot water and mix. When dyeing dark denim, you will want to use less water for a darker dye.

Dress up bottles of home made fruit juices, ciders, sodas or fruit infused waters with these free festive labels. Take a bright and bold decorative approach to summer picnics, home entertaining and even gifts! For a healthy option, I highly recommend experimenting with fruit-infused waters. They're incredibly simple to make, low in calories and free from processed sugars. Simply pop a few slices of your fruit into a jug of water and let it infuse over a few hours or overnight. Citrus fruits will provide the strongest flavours however, this article suggests that even harder fruits like apples and pears can work well if the fruits are frozen first. http://www.eatdrinkchic.com/post.cfm/free-festive-fruit-drink-labels
